Chapter 422
Human meat buns, human sausage, human canned food so have a market, I have to say that this is the role of folklore, “Water Margin” in the human meat buns, now replaced by the United States of America’s human sausage, canned human meat, it is also conceivable.
The people’s imagination is very limited, but also very rich.
Zhu Yuyan is ready to use rumors to dispel rumors, the market has already begun to have “workers were sausage machine rolled into the sausage made together” rumors.
Factory accidents are not new, rather they are very common. Due to the fact that today’s machines do not have the safety devices that will be found in later generations, and that caring for the lives of workers is not an important matter for factory owners, factory accidents can be heard of almost every week, and accidents have occurred in every factory.
In spinning mills, for example, it was common for a worker to fall into a cauldron of boiling wool and be boiled to death.
It was not uncommon for workers to be disabled when their hands or feet became entangled in the tracks.
There are also those who were burned to death in steel mills, and those who died of severe burns and pain, etc. There are too many to mention.
There are so many that it is not unusual.
And even with so many accidents, young people are still trying to get into factories, selling their bodies to get into factories, because now only factories are still operating, and only factories are still paying out money.
In this era when machines don’t stop and workers can’t stop, every worker can name a few factory accidents that have happened around him or to him.
This gives the human sausage and canned human meat a ground to spread.
And Zhu Yuyan prepared “the Japanese arrested Chinese people for human experimentation”, this statement is very no market.
First of all, what is human experimentation.
Compared with human sausage and canned human meat, human experimentation lacks the soil that can be quickly understood by the people, and understanding is the first step of spreading.
Therefore, Zhu Yuyan had to change the rumor to make it easier for the people to understand.
She designed several versions, worried that Su Chunjun could not provide a reliable reference, she first let Wu Xiaoping to listen.
Wu Xiaoping now lives here, nominally she is Zhu Yuyan’s student, but most of the work is copying poems or arranged math homework problems, sometimes she would like to go to the kitchen to help, but in fact can not do anything, the kitchen is usually locked, for fear that some people go in to steal food or poison, cooking cooks stand behind the guards, found that there is an unexplained action will immediately take down the cook.
Zhu Yuyan wanted to prevent Wu Xiaoping from doing nothing, but there was no suitable place to put her, so she had to really treat her as a student, and every day she arranged her homework and assigned a lot of assignments.
When she gave Wu Xiaoping lectures and corrections, it was the most relaxing time for her.
Wu Xiaoping was usually quiet, but was always eager to help.
She read it out seriously and after carefully savoring it, said, “I don’t think any of it is scary.”
Zhu Yuyan thought about it, but wrote out only “the Japanese are experimenting with the Ten Great Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty” and “the Japanese say that human flesh is delicious, they like to eat human flesh”.
Wu Xiaoping said, “They are not as scary as human sausage and canned human meat.”
Yes, in fact, Zhu Yuyan also understands. The people’s fear of human sausage and canned human meat was also a fear of the new tool of production: machinery.
Machines were new and unknown to them, and the fact that they were huge and made loud noises when they were running, the huge chimneys and smoke outside the factories, and the huge boilers, all added to the people’s fear of factories and machines.
Add foreigners to the mix and it’s a double fear.
The rumors she wrote were down-to-earth and grounded enough, just not scary enough.
Zhu Yuyan told Wu Xiaoping to go back to her home, and she closed the door to think about it again and rewrote a new version. She didn’t dare to ask Wu Xiaoping to read it, but called Su Chunjun to read it for him.
Su Chunjun had read the previous version and was prepared for it. He thought that this time it would not be too bad, at least it should be at the same level, but he didn’t want to be scared and dry-heave.
Zhu Yuyan saw that he was so scared that he lost his color, so she hurriedly poured water for him to suppress his shock, helped him to the sofa, and smoothed out his breath and stroked his chest.
“Quickly ease.” She said, “Is everything okay?”
Su Chunjun waved his hand, the hand holding up the piece of paper was shaking, his face fear mixed with boundless anger.
“Is …… this true?” He stared at her in shock.
Zhu Yuyan was stunned, she could hear the meaning of his question, it wasn’t that he didn’t believe it, but that he already did.
This time, she didn’t focus on making up fake rumors to scare the people, but instead wrote out the scenes from the movie she had once watched, Unit 731, that she she still remembered.
Unit 731 was adapted from real history.
Zhu Yuyan hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, “No.”
But her expression and tone of voice showed that this “no” was not actually a negative.
Su Chunjun’s eyes were wide with anger, he had already been unable to bear it just by scanning it, and now even if he didn’t go to look at it, just touching his eyes to this piece of paper seemed like he would be burned by the content on it.
–The Japanese will cut open a person’s stomach and pull out the intestines to measure how long they are.
–The Japanese will cut open the stomachs of people of different ages and genders to see if there is any difference between the intestines of men and women, old people and children, and whether the intestines of women are shorter, or children are shorter, or old people are shorter, or adult men are the longest.
–The Japanese will cut open the belly of a pregnant woman to see how heavy the baby is and how much amniotic fluid is present.
–The Japanese will lock up people without food or water to see how many days they will die without food and how many days they will die without water.
Both of them fell into speechlessness.
Su Chunjun wiped his face, tried to calm down, stood up, put this piece of paper solemnly on the table, looked at it for a long time, and then sat down and carefully copied it.
He folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket, and asked her, “When do you plan to disclose?”
Zhu Yuyan: “As soon as possible, as early as possible.”
Su Chunjun: “I’ll take care of it, don’t interfere anymore.” He looked at her, came over and hugged her tightly, saying, “Don’t worry, I will let everyone on the street know about this.”
She knew he was taking this disinformation seriously.
But it wasn’t really disinformation.
It was real history.
She just didn’t know where Unit 731 was, and she didn’t know if the Japanese army had started such genocidal experiments now, but she knew that they had done such evil things, and she wanted to tell the people ahead of time, and tell the people of this era to be vigilant.
Su Chunjun moved quickly. He went out that night, supposedly to pass on information, and when he came back, the next day he openly sent the police to the wharves and other places where the Japanese were recruiting labor to drive away the boatmen, laborers, gangsters and ordinary people there.
The reason he gave was that he had heard that there were some dangerous people who would be detrimental to the Japanese, and even though there was a clash with the Japanese, the Japanese were puzzled by the Chinese who were “bent on doing good”.
In the end, the Japanese drove the police out of the area on the grounds that they were preventing the Japanese from recruiting labor.
But Su Chunjun still sent the police all over the city to disperse the crowd, forcing many people to start running outside.
The tabloids are saying that Su Chunjun is again suspicious that there is no one to give him a confession, which is why he is blatantly impeding the normal life of the Japanese.
Given that all the tabloids were now foreigner newspapers, Zhu Yuyan didn’t care too much about what Su Chunjun’s reputation was in the newspapers.
The market began to chill out again.
The streets that had recovered somewhat were once again empty.
Then a rumor spread among the laborers and gangsters at the docks.
It was said that late one night, a few people who were holding each other up escaped from a corner of the docks, some of them died on street corners, and some of them were a little more fortunate to be rescued and either sent to a medical center or sent back home.
These men told a great secret.
The Japanese were experimenting on the Chinese.
That’s what the Japanese say.
What do you mean by experiments? No one knew what it meant.
Those who escaped back also died soon after. They said they were tricked by the Japanese into using the name of recruiting and then locked up, and some of them had their stomachs cut open alive, their intestines dragged out, and the Japanese took a ruler to measure how long his intestines were.
Others said that they saw women carrying children there, and the children were also dissected alive, and the Japanese even put the children on scales to weigh how much they weighed, and the children weren’t even full-term, so they were dissected alive, so they couldn’t live.
There were also people who were skinned alive by the Japanese, and the skin was hung on the wall in blood.
And ……
There were many, many similar rumors that spread among the dockworkers all at once.
Because there are indeed many dockworkers who got on the ship of the Japanese, Portuguese, and Dutch and then did not know where they were going, and there was no news of them.
No matter how many people came to the docks to look for work they would never fail to find it, for these foreigners were always in short supply.
There were also some who didn’t even get on a ship, but left by train or automobile.
Many of them had no family, and many of them had left just to make enough money for their parents, wives and children that they had no hope of ever coming back.
But working hard until you die and being disemboweled by the Japanese are two different outcomes.
The people could accept that their loved ones were working hard in a distant country, that they might not have enough to eat or wear, and that the work might be hard, but no one could accept that their loved ones were killed when they boarded the ship.
The workers are starting to drum up steam, the gangs take in these hard laborers and use them to make money while at the same time cherishing their lives, and if the Japanese like to kill Chinese for fun, they will certainly no longer be willing to send young men out of their own gangs.
Whether it was to appease the workers or to make better use of the hard laborers within the gangs, the gangs began to investigate what happened to the young men they sent away.
It is true that most of the ships made it to the outer seas, but a good portion of the young men also disappeared into the sea of men.
The gang began to believe the horrible rumors, and the hard workers in the gang and the people wandering the docks heard about it, and even the gang wasn’t sure that they were introducing people to work in the Japanese factories any more, there must be something wrong!
